How to Prepare for 1099’s at Yearend

Every year we get questions about 1099’s: Who should receive them? How do I get a list? How do I know if I have the Federal Tax ID numbers? What forms do I need? And More!!  There is a deadline to have these in the mail to your vendors, and a deadline to file the 1096 (summary page) with copies, so it’s important to plan ahead.

We’re not your CPA and we recommend you check with them. However, we do this each year and have quite a few things we can share so you can be ready. In this webinar, we will cover:

– The general guidelines regarding who should receive a 1099

– How the W-9 form plays into this

– The Sage 100 Contractor 1099 Types and where these are flagged

– How to pull a report to see the Vendor payments, who may need a 1099, and what information might be missing

– The general deadlines to send the 1099’s to the vendors, and to file the 1096 and Federal/State copies

– The latest info we have regarding what can be printed to plain paper, perforated paper, and what may need the ‘red’ forms

Whether you’re a basic user or a super user, we’re confident you’ll pick up some very practical tips to use with Windows 11 and to use with your M365 licenses.
